What is Love

What is love?

But a powerful emotion

It rushes in

And sets things in motion

It can’t be quenched

By the mightiest ocean

So don’t play with love

For everything

There is a time and season

God’s laws

Are there for a reason

Don’t awaken love

Before it’s time

Or it could become

Tomorrow’s thrown-out dime

Love comes around once

It can come around twice

But be careful

Are you willing to pay its price?

It can level whatever stands in its path

Resembling the force of wrath

So don’t play with love

There's a Road that is Turning

There are times the Lord doesn’t seem near,

But oh, how much He wants us to hear

Of His great love and the sacrifice He made,

So that even the littlest one can be saved.

Whether male or female, wealthy or poor,

Jesus is standing at the door.

Through floods, fires, famine, and cold,

The Lord reaches out with love un-foretold.

Jesus came for the needy and lame.

The sinner, the baby, He loves just the same.

The children have voices, the fetuses none.

Do we have His compassion for everyone?

The Muslim, the Hindu, the slave, and oppressed,

Jesus took the towel, as a servant was dressed.

To help the hurting and to set captives free

Takes courage, sacrifice, and love from you and me.

From Japan to Jordan, from China to Chile,

Stretch out, reach out, the harvest is plenty.

From Albania to India, Sudan and Kuwait,

If we don’t hurry, it may be too late.

As He is healing you, heal others around.

Nothing is stopping you; your feet are not bound.

Be filled with His Spirit and bathed in His love.

All power and authority come from above.

There’s a road that is turning.

There’s a way we can go.

The doors are now opening.

His love we can show.

Crumbs or Steak?

Tell me, who knows the mind of the Lord that we should offer Him counsel?

If He has told us a thing, is it not true?

Either we believe God or we place His wisdom on a mantel,

Which is like living our lives in an old, smelly shoe.

What has He promised for His beloved daughters and sons?

Did He not say that He would take care of each and everyone?

Then why are we so busy eating the crumbs

When God wants us to live a life of joy and even have fun?

We easily get focused on what our needs are

That we forget to seek God’s Kingdom first.

When we get our priorities right and up to par,

Then God will give us a marvellous thirst.

We’ll begin to see the needs of others around

And God will fill us with living water that will always abound.

To seek His Kingdom first is to be eating that steak;

And to discover a life of faith,

Believe God, it’s no mistake.

I Love Music

I love music

Give me a melody

I love music

Someone play me a key

When there’s stress and things go wrong

I need a feel good song

When problems pour down like rain

Music keeps me sane

Spin a lyric

Thread a rhyme

Drum a rhythm

I’m feeling fine

A few years ago I flew to Germany alone with my son to my grandfather's funeral. I was afraid to stop over at the Frankfurt airport, because it's a huge airport, so I decided to stop over at the much smaller Hamburg airport instead. I have no problem conversing in the German language and most Germans can speak English, so I wasn't worried about that. I just didn't want to get lost. Well, the Hamburg airport was a mistake of choice. They lacked the German efficiency that one would have expected. Computer systems were down. No one explained what the hold-up was and no one apologized for the delay. We were third in line, but it took an hour before we got to the counter and received our boarding passes. What was worse was that they had no background music playing at the airport. It was awful just standing there staring at the staff behind the counters and their computers. Also, I had my 10-year-old boy with me and what was he supposed to do? Occasionally, I hummed tunes to myself, I was that desperate. With the delay, others missed their flights, but we got to our connecting flight just in time.

Philosophy (Everything Comes in Packaging)

Philosophy

The world’s philosophy

Oh, doesn’t it sound so good to your ears?

Lying

It wasn’t really lying

It was only a tiny, little, white lie

Packaging

Everything comes in packaging

And it’s always made to look so nice

Rights

It’s my right

No one has the right to tell me what to do

Sex

Have safe sex

And you should only begin when you feel ready

Packaging

Everything comes in packaging

And it’s always made to look so nice

Religion

All religions are good

Therefore, there is no one true religion

Truth

The world’s truth

Or God’s truth, which is the only truth

God has promised that if you should know the truth,

The truth will set you free

I thought you might be interested to know that I wrote this poem when I was 18 years old. Our modern, western culture dictates to school-going kids the philosophy that they are to embrace. This was my response to that.
